2011 SAT March: Writing

<p>Does anyone remember the question whose option was
Have begun changing
It was the airplane question</p>

<p>I stayed quite basic with my essay and chose to talk about Jersey Shore, The Bachelor (and how it has encouraged a new wave of feminism), and the McCarthy hearings.</p>

<p>yeah it was like</p>

<p>have began to change
have begun changing
and 3 other weird ones</p>

<p>i put have begun changing</p>

<p>omggg yea, i said have began to change…but thats wrong, but i though they all sounded wrong.</p>

<p>nope. present perfect requires BEGUN!!HELL YEAH SILVERTURTLE…anyhow anyone remember the films ------ zeal question? i put its as wrong since a warm can’t have zeal</p>

<p>@facedownclap
I got have begun changing for that answer. don’t know if I’m right though.
@heyjjjaded
wow I like your example with The Bachelor. Man I forgot that.</p>

<p>“matched its zeal”, its was underlined and shouldve been plural</p>

<p>I used requiem for a dream (the lady who wants to get on the tv show), brave new world, and a made up personal example about a friend named Thomas who became obsessed with getting on “survivor”, but when his filmed episodes didn’t air, he went into a spiral of depression</p>

<p>i think i only had 1 no error?</p>

<p>what were your guys’s no errors?</p>

<p>I had one no error. It was the last one for me. I thought the T.E Lawrence of Arabia one had an error.</p>

<p>i didnt think that one did…does anyone remember it?</p>

<p>madagascar question…
having been separated
or
by seperating</p>

<p>i put A</p>

<p>i put having been separated and have begun to change</p>

<p>i put A as well.</p>

<p>“its” referred to Hollywood films, which is plural, not singular.
So that’s wrong.</p>

<p>I thought the lawrence one was fine.
I had a total of two no-errors.</p>

<p>so the arabia one?</p>

<p>what about the pluto question?
I idk if i over thought that. I i didn’t pick one of the answers because of tense issues.</p>

<p>Oh, there was a question about something’s popularity and how it was not as popular as it used to be.
Was “from what” the right answer for that?
Isn’t the right idiom “more popular than it was in the past”?</p>

<p>the lawrence sentence said something like “not hinted at in the films” with the “not hinted at” underlined. i ended up going with no error.</p>
